Senani Silks

The Senani Silk Factory is on a hill half a mile from the center of Kandy. You can arrive via tuk tuk for a euro or so, or on foot, as it is a lovely walk to make the most of the views. In the factory you can see how they make natural silk with worms. Then see how they treat it, and finally they stain it to get a rainbow of colors. The silk is then used to make traditional dresses, but with the growing interest of tourists, They now also make clothes that are easier to wear for us. All this you can find in the store. It's not cheap but the products are good quality. The visit is supposedly free,
